// Keywords are case sensitive - get them wrong and firefox
// will whinge about a config error and not load.
//
// pref		: user can override for current session
// defaultPref  : user can override permanently
// lockPref     : user can't change

// set home page - this doesn't work very well as a default so
// we use ./browserconfig.properties to set instead
//defaultPref("browser.startup.page", 1);
//defaultPref("browser.startup.homepage", "http://ourhomepage/");

// disable firefox welcome page on 1st run or upgrades
lockPref("browser.startup.homepage_override.mstone", "ignore");

// tabs
defaultPref("browser.tabs.warnOnClose", false);
defaultPref("browser.tabs.autoHide", false)
